The court’s three liberal justices — Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan — indicated they were skeptical that the Mississippi law should be upheld. 19thnews.org/2021/12/suprem…
Justice Amy Coney Barrett pointed to laws that allow people to terminate parental rights, and suggested that unintended pregnancy is no longer a great barrier for people because they can turn to adoption services. 19thnews.org/2021/12/suprem…
Julie Rikelman, a lawyer for Jackson Women’s Health, noted that adoption resources existed before Roe v. Wade was decided, and argued that both the physical state of unintended pregnancy and the consequence of unplanned parenthood can be detrimental. 19thnews.org/2021/12/suprem…
A decision in the case is not expected until the end of the court’s term, in or near the summer of 2022.
